Default Different Whites???

I have a 1999, and trying to get some touch up for HJ, to fix stress cracks/chips from when I hit a dog right after getting him. The dog was ok, so was HJ other than he's now go those stress cracks.

Anyways, I got this paint at Advance Auto, it's dupli-color. The paint code is LB9A, candy white. The book at the store said that the 99's had a candy white... but everything I'm finding online says cool white. Which is LA9B. Same letters, different sequence. Way to make it confusing!

Can anyone clear this up for me? Is dupli-color really wrong? Or are they the same thing? I'd really like to fix my bumper.

I did the same thing...Bought the Candy White touch up paint from Advanced Auto.

I can tell you first hand it's not the same color as Cool White, LA9B.

Crazy thing is, it was a better match than the cool white for what ever reason

Maybe it's because Moes' white is faded

If you'd like, I can take pics of touch ups done w/ both paints to give you an idea of the contrast in colors...
